Life as a process!

There is a lot that we take for granted in life until we are asked to justify, explain or make sense of it!

About 15 years ago I was living in Japan and had a beautiful son named Yutaka Denzel Darisse, the pride of my life and not too long after I was blessed again with a second son Louis Kei Darisse. All was right with the world (or so it seemed).

As the pages of the calendar went by I shared a very close and loving relationship with both my sons, so many wonderful memories! We really were close and they mean everything to me.

I have had to justify what kind of a parent I am, when all who know me and knew of my relationship with my sons would easily testify to the fact that I was a great father! Even their mother has often said that - only to suggest otherwise when it became convenient to do so...

Not many parents have to justify themselves in front of strangers in a very emotionally challenging environment. I approached this challenge with optimism even though my sons were taken from me in December of 2004. I had faith in the fact that no one would knowingly conspire to remove a loving parent from a child’s life.

Even though that is exactly what had happened - I believed that the situation could be resolved and that everyone’s interest could be respected.

It is now February of 2010 and I am again going to court to try and establish some sanity to this ridiculous situation...

My heart naturally hopes for the best but my emotions or reason understands that the current inequity will most likely prevail.

Life has been moving forward and much has changed but my eternal love for my boys is stronger than ever and although time is trying to make me forget it is only making me love them more.

Love,
Dad
